      Polite society has its rules for marriage. But for Ella Quinn’s eligible bachelors, their brides will show them that rules are for the faint of heart . . . Phoebe Stanhope is not a typical Lady. As feisty as she is quick witted, no one can catch her, especially when she is driving her dashing phaeton with its perfectly matched horses. And unlike her peers, experience has guarded her against a growing list of would-be suitors. But when she encounters Marcus Finley, what she fears most burns deep within his blue-eyed gaze . . . For Lord Marcus, the spark of recognition is but a moment in the love he has held these many years. Now that he’s returned to England, all the happiness he desires rests on Lady Phoebe never finding out that he was the one who turned her heart so cold and distant. He must work fast to gain the advantage—to convince her what she wants is exactly what she denies—but in order to seduce her into his arms, he must be willing to give up more than he can control . . . “Lady Phoebe is a heroine Georgette Heyer would adore—plucky, pretty, and well worth the devotion of the dashing Lord Marcus. A marvelous find for Regency romance readers.” —Grace Burrowes, New York Times bestselling author

      Im ersten Teil einer erfolgreichen Regency-Serie stellt die beliebte amerikanische Autorin Ella Quinn die zukünftigen Grafen und Gräfin von Worthington vor – ein Paar, das mehr gemeinsam hat, als sie ahnen. Lady Grace Carpenter hat sich damit abgefunden, dass sie niemals heiraten wird, da sie nach dem Tod ihrer Eltern allein für ihre sieben jüngeren Geschwister sorgt. Sie hat ihrer Mutter versprochen, dass sie nicht zulassen wird, dass Verwandte die Kinder auseinanderreißen, und kann sich nicht vorstellen, dass ein Mann bereit wäre, sich um fremde Kinder zu kümmern. Eines Tages trifft Grace in einem Gasthaus, in das sie sich vor einem Sturm zurückgezogen hat, auf Matt, den Grafen von Worthington, in den sie schon seit einiger Zeit heimlich verliebt ist. Er erkennt sie nicht, und so beschließt die junge Frau spontan, dass sie, wenn sie bis zum Ende ihres Lebens allein bleibt, zumindest keine alte Jungfer sein möchte. Matt hat die Hoffnung aufgegeben, eine Frau zu finden, die ihn sowohl körperlich als auch geistig anspricht. Nach einem Abendessen mit der schönen Unbekannten, gefolgt von einem leidenschaftlichen Nacht, verliert er völlig den Kopf. Als Grace am Morgen spurlos verschwindet, beschließt er, sie zu finden und sie zu heiraten. Doch er ahnt nicht, welche Hindernisse ihn erwarten.
